PROS®
(NYSE: PRO), a big data software company, today announced it has been
recognized as a winner of the 2014
CRM Watchlist Award. PROS was honored among 40 standout technology
companies that earned rankings on the prominent list as top-flight CRM
solutions providers based on customer focus, strategy, financial
performance, marketing, product portfolio, partnerships and corporate
culture.
PROS big data solutions for pricing and sales effectiveness, which now
include PROS Cameleon
CPQ (configure-price-quote), integrate with leading CRM platforms,
including Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics and SAP CRM. PROS
prescriptive analytics enable sales teams to outperform by identifying
opportunities with the highest probability of closing, offers with the
highest probability of selling and the prices that are most likely to
win.
The award is presented annually by ZDNet
columnist Paul Greenberg, a renowned Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) authority and best-selling author. Greenberg, who has been called
“the godfather of CRM” and “the Bob Dylan of CRM,” evaluated 162
companies for this year’s competition. Organizations were judged on
financial performance, management team, mission and vision, technology,
partner program, market impact, thought leadership and corporate
culture, in addition to 20+ additional factors.
According to Greenberg, “The character of the award, an impact award,
remains the same. The effort at winning was magnitudes harder.”
“The CRM Watchlist Award evaluates a broad range of categories that are
core to every company’s operations, and we are honored to have won this
important distinction alongside some of the most prominent organizations
in the industry,” said President and CEO Andres
Reiner. “Our success at PROS is driven by an extraordinary team of
people who are committed to customer success and innovation. I am proud
to accept this award on their behalf.”
In the Gartner Research, Inc. “MarketScope
for Price Optimization and Management: 2013” issued in December,
PROS received a “strong positive,” the research firm’s highest-possible
ranking. Reflecting the voice of the market, PROS reference customers
gave the company the highest grades overall in key buying criteria,
including ease of use, ease of deployment, functionality, roadmap,
vision and overall satisfaction.
